exactly

case in point;
while working as an electrician in colorado, another sparky and i were two hours in the middle of nowhere, building some electrical thingamajiggy, which required the use of a specialized tool to complete.
he pulls out the said wrench, while proclaiming what a great deal he got on it at harbor freight tools (chinese army surplus crap store).
not to dismiss his pride, even though i knew it was a POS, we gave it a try.
"SNAP" was the sound it made as it broke the very first time using it.
i looked at him and said, "well, thankfully i have a real one in my truck, otherwise it would be four extra hours of driving for nothing."

COR version- you get what you pay for

Who are you and what have you done to Ygrene?

Apart from that one can rightfully question the products quality but additionally I would not trade my dignity for a few saved dollars by becoming a rioting fat angry fuck in a pack of other rioting fat angry fucks.

I would like some citric acid on my waffle bed. I have some "whipped cream" for a topping.

It's like at fairs in the states (and up here too) where they deep fry anything. Cola, caramel, snickers, butter, wtf!
